EUV Chipmaking Inches Forward 32
szotz writes "You've got falling droplets of molten tin, bright lasers, and fancy evacuated optics. What's not to love about EUV light sources? The fact that we still don't have them in production lines producing chips. Light source maker ASML says it's 'more confident' that the technology's on track now, and that the machines should meet their target brightness by 2015, in time to help pattern the 10nm generation of chips — the next next generation. We'll see. Or then again maybe we won't. The light's outside the visible range."

You'll be find as long as you stay out of the machines in a chip fab.
Based on the likely cost of a spoiled 200-300mm wafer on a 10nm process, I suspect that the operator of the fab would kill you before the UV does...
